Of course, the Linux Foundation is about promoting an operating system that has been largely marginalized

Bollocks. Linux has not been marginalized. It is dominating the server market, embedded devices, and smartphones in the form of android.

whereas the Bitcoin Foundation will work to promote a cryptocurrency sometimes used for blackmarket activity.

Haven't you heard? The dollars are used for black market activities too.



I just want to clarify that kiba is criticizing the betabeat article, not the bitcoin devs.

Given that some core Bitcoin devs are also Linux kernel devs, they would not make the big mistake of saying that Linux is marginalized.


That kernel/bitcoin link is something I haven't heard of and pretty interesting, do you have any sources?


Jeff Garzik, Con Colivas. Anyone else?


Those are the only ones I can think of (and likely the only ones).
